Beat Writer

Famous quotes containing the words beat and/or writer:

“Now you strike like the blind man; ‘twas the boy that stole your meat, and you’ll beat the post.”

“Writing, at its best, is a lonely life. Organizations for writers palliate the writer’s loneliness, but I doubt if they improve his writing. He grows in public stature as he sheds his loneliness and often his work deteriorates. For he does his work alone and if he is a good enough writer he must face eternity, or the lack of it, each day.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
